David Bowie Offers “Golden Years” as Remixable iPhone App
Posted in: Apple, iPhone, MP3 Digital Audio, Today's Chili
Fancy yourself a DJ of sorts, but not willing to plunk down the cash for turntables and professional software and all of that nonsense? Good news, you can get your remix on with your iPhone–granted, it’s only one song at a time, but heck, everyone’s got to start somewhere.
Thin White Duke David Bowie has given his thumbs up to a new iPhone app that lets users remix his 1975 single, “Golden Years.” The track has been separated into eight files: lead vocals, 12-string guitar, six-string guitar, bass, drums, percussion, harmonium, and backing vocals.
Bowie’s label, EMI, is promoting the app with a streaming EP of four remixes of the song created by DJs at southern California public radio station KCRW. The app itself will hit iTunes on June 6th. It will join a similar app featuring the singer’s “Space Oddity” single.
